How to Remove a Mazda MX5 Rear Wheel Arch and Sill - Lots of Hidden Rust

[@stevemcilroy9518]

It must be satisfying for the customer to watch their car being worked on, and all that rust being dealt with correctly. Respect.

[@ricksallotment5923]

Depending on the total cost yes and if it where possible to monitor the entire procedure.

[@carworth8814]

I started working in body shops doing this kind of work in 1978. The 1st thing I was taught was, never, EVER, put your knees on the cement floor.

[@dufus7396]

Why ?

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

I must have hard knees as Iv been doing it 30 years and no probs :)

[@greglorison7827]

@@yorkshirecarrestoration You re lucky, because its true that's lot of people got some knees problem after some years

[@GT380man]

I put old carpets in my motorcycle workshop for exactly that reason.

Such a helpful video, trying to figure out how the inner sill looks like as mine turned to dust.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

we will be doing a video rebuilding the inner sills in the near future.

[@kobiroar4221]

It had the makings of a great video, anyone can pull it all apart it’s the putting it back together surely that’s the object of showing us your video

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Have a look at our other videos , you will see plenty of wheel arches being put back together :)

[@farmerbobbygrows3338]

Remember a resperator I've gotten pneumonia so many times from shop dust I might be more sensitive to it idk. Don't stop me tho💪

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Hi Robert , When your working in it you don't notice it too much but watching the videos back and seeing the amount of dust and fumes and comments from family and Subscribers has finally convinced Steve to use PPE :)

[@ColinBarrett001]

We didn't get to see what was under all the filler at the top of the wheel arch - and why what appeared to be a sound section had filler in it? But more importantly we didn't get to see the new inner sections being fabricated and welded in and the new outer panel fitted. Two years later there has been no follow up video.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

No follow up video needed. It was just to show how bad some wheel arches are even if they look good. See our other videos for other wheel arches we have repaired.

[@shootingsportstransparency7461]

Been there and done that so I understand why you would rather not put a safety guard on your angle grinder. But I also know that a disc like that will explode in your face sooner or later

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

hard to use on a daily basis with them but we are trying to modify them atm so we can still get them in places :)

@@yorkshirecarrestoration that is so cool thank you for your reply and for fixing that lovely car!

[@lukepennington8224]

Why do people always cut the new panel down to size is it not easier marking it out to that size and just fitting the new panel as it is or Is it more time consuming fitting the new panel as it comes ?

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

If you fit a whole panel it’s more work, a bigger area to get the lines and shape correct, the further up the panel you have to cut out the more the original panel looses shape as it’s on a bend so springs out and has to be pushed back before welding making for a harder panel to weld back in. Also why cut out good metal ? Just replace the rusty stuff :) 👍

One thing MR2's and MX-5 share is their rust. The MR2 is the better car but atleast Mazda didnt put foam that absorbs water in their sills
